Changing the Game In Youth Sports with Sameer Ahuja | KindredCast

Join LionTree’s Alex Michael as he sits down at GameChanger headquarters with Sameer Ahuja - a visionary leader, entrepreneur, strategist, and advocate for youth sports.
Sameer Ahuja serves as the President of GameChanger, a trailblazer in the youth sports technology sector. Through GameChanger's innovative mobile app, millions of coaches, players, and families can access real-time stats, videos, and highlights that not only help in organizing sports events but also in celebrating player achievements and keeping communities connected. Now, families can connect to every hit, pitch, and play - transforming the spectator experience for games they can't attend in person.
Sameer’s journey with GameChanger began after its acquisition by DICK'S Sporting Goods, where he orchestrated its seamless integration into the broader ecosystem. Under his leadership, GameChanger has achieved nearly 40% annualized growth and is on track to surpass $100 million in revenue by 2024.
In our conversation with Sameer, he shares insights on the evolution of youth sports technology, how the company is navigating technological advancements, the strategic alliances shaping the industry's landscape, and his vision for expanding GameChanger's footprint beyond baseball and softball into even more sports programs. As someone deeply committed to enhancing youth sports participation and community engagement, Sameer discusses the transformative power of technology in making sports more accessible and inclusive.
